Mobile learning that co-exists with your desktop curriculum
July 7, 2011 Leave a comment
I’m currently in the latter stages developing a series of apps that allow a student to view content from a moodle-based LMS. I know, not knew, but I’ve also modified our moodle database so that for every desktop resource, there are equivalent smartphone/tablet courses available.
Therefore, if a person views our Moodle LMS from their desktop, they get the ‘standard’ desktop course, yet if they access from their iPad/iPhone, they get a differing version tailored for that device.
Other features, such as chat/forums/quizes are then handled on the apps as well to provide a socially rich experience.
I’m very interested on people’s views as to whether my splitting of courseware in this fashion is a good idea, or whether you’ve tried and succeeded in having e-learning that displays well on every device.
